To build goodwill with the community, Tasdeaf is willing to sponsor a community organisation to the amount of $5,000. The funds are to be used to promote Tasdeaf in a positive way and to generate exposure to the broader community about Tasdeaf.

Welcome Message from Acting Chief Executive Officer

The leading provider of services and education to those impacted by hearing loss.

The Tasmanian Deaf Society is an organisation providing a unique service to Deaf and Hard of Hearing people as well as their families and friends who have been impacted by hearing loss within Tasmania.

Tasdeaf and Hearing Link Tasmania are two services that are provided under the Tasmania Deaf Society banner; however we are commonly called Tasdeaf. Our business is to minimise the impact of hearing loss on individuals while improving the quality of life for Deaf people of which some are often excluded from having an active community participation.

Tasdeaf is an organisation that lobby, advocates, informs and educates the whole spectrum of community that is Government Services, non profit organisations and individuals.

The future belongs to those who are prepared to invest in the future and I encourage you to become a member of Tasmanian Deaf Society (either Tasdeaf or Hearing Link Tasmania) to ensure our future remains strong.

As you will see on this website, there are a number of services that may be suitable for your needs whether it is a free hearing test at Launceston or Hobart; Auslan classes at Hobart, Launceston, Burnie or your workplace; or providing Auslan interpreters.

I hope you enjoy the website and I hope that Tasmanian Deaf Society can be of a service to you in the future..
